Notifications - what are they for?
Has anybody ever found the notifications thing next to the clock to be of any use? All I get is adverts for stuff M$ is trying to sell, unimportant notifications, and at the moment I apparently have one thing to read, but when I click it it says "no notifications".

I have all but system notification turned off, so I get very few actual notifications. When I installed Windows 10, one of the first things I did was turn off everything, that had no business on my computer. I use the Notification icon for communication icons, and WIFI, Network, Bluetooth, Settings, etc. -- 2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |

That's about all I could find as a solution. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html Paul |

What gets me is when the notification pops up and then disappears before I can finish reading it. I find they go away without me finishing with them. If I'm in the middle of something, I leave one there expecting it to stay until I interact with it, but it runs away. Or I click on it to do something, but then can't click it a second time if I want to do more. They should stay until I click the X. Very badly thought out design, typical of Microsoft. |

The pop-ups contain very short messages so why do you need 5 minutes to read them? Because: 1. My vision is not usually fixed on that corner of the screen. 2. I have to react to the appearance of a pop-up at the corner of my vision. That takes a short but finite time. 3. I don't get 5 minutes to read them. It's nearer to 3 seconds including the reaction time. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I have to react to the appearance of a pop-up at the corner of my vision. That takes a short but finite time. You don't, because these pop-ups can be expanded and read in almost full screen and you can as long as you want to read them!! See this pictu https://i.imgur.com/vzSUPci.png https://i.imgur.com/vzSUPci.png 3. I don't get 5 minutes to read them. It's nearer to 3 seconds including the reaction time. You get as long as you want. I managed to take a screenshot as shown above so clearly there is enough time. Take 30 minutes, NO Problems with them. That pop-up is still visible while I am still writing this post. there is X box to close. Why are they still putting up that message? Only windows 98 was stupid enough to forget to write all the data to the USB device. I just pull them out nowadays. |

Did you right-click on the ICON and see what options you get? Please try it before wasting Keith Knuttle's time. He is doing his best to explain to you but for some unknown reasons you don't understand him. Why is this so Mr Knife? Also, why is it that your posts normally generate more posts that have nothing to do with Windows 10. For example you recently asked something about "Annoying Printers" and it generated more responses about colour of the car and what environment can do to it.. Your question didn't have anything to do with Windows 10 at all. -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |
